Hotline Miami; Finishing off enemy in a corner makes you invulnerable

How to reproduce
- Start Game
- On a level, knock out a guy in a corner
- Jump on him to finish him off



Description

Notice that the enemy now try and kill you with guns. However no matter how much they shoot. They cant kill you



Personal Notes

This game has many issues. So far none that I have found are big issues, so they were probably prioritised lower, and from what I have played so far the game quality has not diminished even if there are these issues. Actually it makes the game harder and more fun when you try and exploit these things.

Example. Two guys with guns behind a door and another guy around the corner with a crowbar. What to do?

1. Run in and throw someone at bottom guy with gun, knocking him down


2. Run and hit the second guy with gun, knocking him down


3. Turn around and smack the guy with crowbar down, then proceed to finish him off


4. By this time the first guy would've gotten up, but you will have enough time to grab the crowbar and charge him. If you do are fast enough the bullets will spawn behind you so you can smack him dead


5. Then proceed to finish off the last guy


6. Then get killed by another guy with a shotgun/baseball bat ........

This game is strangely fun. Has most of the things a tester would like in a game. Quick restart time. Relatively fixed variables (the bad guys and their weapons are the same, but their path isn't). This with the weird mindless violence and retro top-down-GTA look. It has to be one of the weirder games out there. I mean what is with the weird trips to the pizza/video/etc stores .. and those masks ....

Hotline Miami; Able to avoid bullets if you are close enough to theenemy

How to reproduce
- Start game-
- Charge straight at an enemy and try and get in front of them

Description
When the enemy starts shooting the bullets appear behind you and you are not killed. As you can see in the screen shot the enemy is shooting at me and I'm standing just in front of the gun and not being hit.



Personal notes

This game is hard. 1 hit death. That is kinda frustrating, however with the fact that you can retry straight away (like Super Meat Boy) and the fact that the "death" doesn't really cost you anything except for time, makes it less painful and more leaning towards the fun crazy side. You can retry things (like getting this screen shot) over and over very quickly. This makes it quite a fun and simple game. Well worth the $$ and on another note full of bugs.
